Is there a way to get the htmlFieldPrefix in widget.edit

[SteeveDumais]

I am trying to get the html prefix of a widget so that I can manually create the field in Widget-{myWidget}.edit.cshtml.

All my widgets will be in react and I need to name them correctly so that the ModelUpdate will pick up the modification in edit mode.

@SteeveDumais For example, If your widget is called News create template with Content-News.Edit.cshtml

I have created the file Content-{MyWidget}.edit.cshtml but it is not being hit. Is there no way to get the value on the widget.edit.cshtml page?

Hmm! So If your Content Type News has Stereotype Widget then It will take Widget-News.Edit.cshtml. But if stereotype is blank then it will take Content-News.Edit.cshtml

ShapeTable is created at start of the application, so if you add new shapes in Views folder, you may need to restart the application.

Where in the model is the prefixe when I go to Widget-News.Edit.cshtml. I have modified the ContentCard-FlowPart.Edit.cshtml to force the Model.ContentEditor.Metadata.Prefix = Model.PrefixValue. I was hoping that I did not have to do that step and that Model.ContentEditor had that value somewhere or it was present int he viewContext

@SteeveDumais I don't think that you need to change the prefix value.
Can you explain what you are trying to achieve?

I am creating a contentCard that has a Content of stereotype widget. When I display the widget it is a react component. In order for the values to be saved the widget components need to be named "prefixValue. the field name", where the prefixValue is coming from the contentCard. I was hoping there was a way to reference the contentCard prefix in the widget-myWidget.Edit.cshtml page

@SteeveDumais when you use Widget-{contenttype}.Edit.cshtml, the Model is an editor ZoneHolding shape of your content type . You can access fields and parts using Model.Content or Model.Parts shapes.

@SteeveDumais with recent change in PR #5989 , now, PrefixValue is ContentItemId for existing Item.
